And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. - Sylvia Plath

Books Blogthing
Another fun blogthing. I couldn't pass this one up given my book addiction and all. What is sad is the number of "classics" on this list that I haven't read. It was a good reminder of the number of books I have on my shelf waiting to be read!
Here's how you play. Take a look and see which ones you’ve read. Then, if you’re a blogger, post it on your blog. If you play, leave me a comment so that I can come visit!
Here’s what you do:
* Bold the ones you’ve read.
* Italicize the ones you want to read.
* Leave in normal text the ones that don’t interest you.
* Put in ALL CAPS those you haven’t heard of.
* Put a couple of asterisks by the ones you recommend.
(UPDATE - I liked Erik's suggestion of putting (++) next to the ones you've seen the movie or TV show of, so I added that)
